Philippo, 47, is charged in the June 2012 death of his girlfriend, Kiorinta Edmond, who was fatally stabbed outside the couple's Tualatin apartment complex.

Neighbors testified last week that Philippo chased 31-year-old Edmond out of the couple's residence at the Tualatin Meadows Apartments. According to the state's witnesses, he attacked her with a large kitchen knife, leaving her with 25 gashes including a deadly stab wound that pierced her aorta.

Edmond bled to death on the lawn of the apartments.

The defense argued that Philippo was too drunk to know what he was doing when he killed Edmond. Defense attorney James Glover asked jurors to find his client guilty of the lesser included crime of first-degree manslaughter.
